Bulus, wanda Allah ya zaɓa don yă zama manzon Kiristi Yesu, Zuwa ga tsarkaka da suke a Afisa, da kuma suke amintattu cikin Kiristi Yesu.
2 Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae kelesi, mo e melino, mei he ʻOtua ko e tau Tamai, pea mei he ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
Alheri da salama daga Allah Ubanmu da Ubangiji Yesu Kiristi, su kasance tare da ku.
3 Fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua ko e Tamai ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ʻaia kuo ne tāpuaki ʻaki ʻakitautolu ʻae ngaahi tāpuaki fakalaumālie kotoa pē ʻi he ngaahi potu fakalangi ʻia Kalaisi:
Yabo ya tabbata ga Allah Uban Ubangijinmu Yesu Kiristi, wanda ya kawo mana kowace albarka ta ruhaniya daga sama.
4 ʻO fakatatau ki heʻene fili ʻakitautolu ʻiate ia ʻi he teʻeki ai fakatupu ʻa māmani, koeʻuhi ke tau māʻoniʻoni mo taʻehalaia ʻi hono ʻao ʻi he ʻofa:
Gama ya zaɓe mu a cikin Kiristi tun dā can, kafin ma a halicci duniya don mu zama masu tsarki da kuma marasa aibi a gabansa.
5 ʻAia naʻa ne tuʻutuʻuni ʻakitautolu ki he ʻohia ʻoe fānau kiate ia ʻia Sisu Kalaisi, ʻo fakatatau ki he angaʻofa ʻo hono finangalo,
A cikin ƙauna, ya ƙaddara mu zama’ya’yansa na riƙo ta wurin Kiristi Yesu, bisa ga nufinsa na alheri.
6 Ke ai ha fakafetaʻi ʻi heʻene ʻofa ongoongolelei, ʻaia kuo ne maʻu ai ʻakitautolu ʻi he ʻOfeina.
Ya yi haka don mu yabi Allah saboda alherin da ya yi mana saboda mu na ƙaunataccen Ɗansa ne.
7 ʻAia ʻoku tau maʻu ai ʻae huhuʻi hono taʻataʻa, ko e fakamolemole ʻoe ngaahi angahala, ʻo fakatatau mo hono lahi ʻaupito ʻo ʻene ʻofa;
A cikinsa muka sami fansa ta wurin jininsa, wato, yafewar zunubanmu. Kiristi ya yi wannan saboda yawan alherin Allah
8 ʻAia kuo ne fonu lahi ʻaupito ai kiate kitautolu, ʻi he poto kotoa pē mo e ʻiloʻilo;
wanda ya ba mu babu iyaka tare da dukan hikima da fahimta.
9 ʻI he fakaʻilo kiate kitautolu ʻae meʻa fakalilolilo ʻo hono finangalo, ʻo fakatatau mo e angaʻofa ʻaʻana, ʻaia naʻa ne tuʻutuʻuni ʻiate ia pe:
Allah ya yi abin da ya nufa, ya kuma sanar mana shirin asirin da ya riga ya shirya yă cika ta wurin Kiristi.
10 Koeʻuhi ʻi he kakato ʻoe ngaahi kuonga naʻa ne tuʻutuʻuni, ke ne fakakātoa fakataha ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻia Kalaisi, ʻae meʻa ʻoku ʻi he langi, mo ia ʻoku ʻi māmani; ʻio, ʻiate ia:
Nufinsa ke nan, idan lokaci ya cika, yă harhaɗa dukan abubuwa a ƙarƙashin ikon Kiristi, wato, dukan abubuwan da suke sama da abubuwan da suke ƙasa.
11 ʻAia kuo mau maʻu ai foki ʻae tofiʻa, he kuo ne tuʻutuʻuni ʻakimautolu ʻo fakatatau ki he faʻiteliha ʻo ia ʻoku fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻo fakatatau ki he poto ʻo hono finangalo:
A cikinsa ne kuma aka zaɓe mu mu sami gādo daga Allah, an kuwa ƙaddara mu ga haka bisa ga nufin wannan da yake zartar da dukan abubuwa yadda ya yi nufi yă yi.
12 Koeʻuhi ke ongoongolelei ʻene angalelei ʻiate kimautolu naʻe tomuʻa falala kia Kalaisi,
Manufar Allah ita ce cewa mu da muka fara sa bege a cikin Kiristi, mu yi zaman yabon ɗaukakar Allah.
13 Mo kimoutolu foki, ʻi he hili hoʻomou fanongo ki he folofola ʻoe moʻoni, ko e ongoongolelei ʻo homou fakamoʻui: ʻaia foki ʻi hoʻomou tui, naʻe fakaʻilonga ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni ʻoe talaʻofa,
An kuma haɗa ku a cikin Kiristi lokacin da kuka ji saƙon nan na gaskiya, wanda yake labari mai daɗi na cetonku. Da kuka ba da gaskiya, sai aka yi muku alamar shaida a cikinsa da Ruhu Mai Tsarki.
14 ʻAia ko e fakamoʻoni ia ʻo hotau tofiʻa, kaeʻoua ke huhuʻi ʻae tofiʻa kuo fakatau, ke fakaongolelei ai ʻene angalelei.
Ruhu Mai Tsarkin nan shi ne tabbacin da Allah ya yi na cewa zai ba mu kome da ya yi alkawari, har ya sa muka sani nan gaba Allah zai ceci waɗanda suke nasa. Wannan kuwa domin yabon ɗaukakarsa ne.
15 Pea ko au foki, hili ʻeku fanongo ki hoʻomou tui ki he ʻEiki ko Sisu, mo e ʻofa ki he kāinga māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē,
Saboda haka, tun lokacin da na ji labarin bangaskiyarku cikin Ubangiji Yesu da kuma ƙaunar da kuke yi wa dukan mutanen Allah,
16 ʻOku ʻikai tuku ʻeku ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu, ʻo takua ʻakimoutolu ʻi heʻeku ngaahi lotu;
ban fasa yin godiya saboda ku ba, ina tuna da ku cikin addu’o’ina.
17 Koeʻuhi ke tuku kiate kimoutolu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻo hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ko e Tamai ʻoe nāunau, ʻae laumālie ʻoe poto mo e fakahā ʻi he faʻa ʻiloʻi ia;
Ina ta roƙo cewa Allah na Ubangijinmu Yesu Kiristi, Uba Maɗaukaki, yă ba ku Ruhun hikima da na ganewa, domin ku san shi da kyau.
18 ʻI he fakamaama ʻae mata ʻo homou loto; koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ai, pe ko e hā ʻae ʻamanaki lelei ʻo ʻene ui, pea ko e hā ʻae koloa ʻoe lelei ʻo hono tofiʻa ʻi he kāinga māʻoniʻoni,
Ina kuma addu’a cewa zuciyarku tă waye don ku gane ko mene ne sa zuciyan nan da ya kira ku a kansa, ku kuma san darajar dukiyan nan wadda take ta mutanen Allah, wato, albarkunsa.
19 Pea ko e hā hono lahi fakamanavahē ʻo ʻene mālohi kiate kitautolu ʻoku tui, ʻo fakatatau ki he ngāue ʻa hono māfimafi lahi ʻaupito,
Ina addu’a ku san girman ikon Allah wanda ya wuce misali, wanda yake namu. Ikon da yake aiki a cikinmu, ɗaya ne da ikon nan
20 ʻAia naʻa ne fai kia Kalaisi, ʻi heʻene fokotuʻu hake ia mei he pekia, ʻo ne fakanofo ia ki hono nima toʻomataʻu ʻi he ngaahi potu fakalangi,
da ya tā da Kiristi daga matattu, ya kuma sa ya zauna a hannun damansa a cikin mulkin samaniya.
21 ʻO māʻolunga lahi ʻaupito ʻi he ngaahi pule kotoa pē, mo e mālohi, mo e māfimafi, mo e ʻeikiʻanga mo e hingoa kotoa pē ʻoku ui ʻaki, ʻikai ʻi he māmani pe, ka ʻi he maama ko ia foki ʻe hoko: (aiōn g165)
Yanzu yana mulki a kan dukan masu sarauta, da masu iko, da masu ƙarfi, da kuma masu mulki. Yana mulkin kome a wannan duniya, zai kuma yi mulkin duniya mai zuwa. (aiōn g165)
22 Pea kuo tuku ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ki hono lalo vaʻe, pea fakanofo ia ko e ʻulu ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ki hono siasi,
Allah ya sa kome a ƙarƙashin ikonsa, ya kuma ba shi iko a kan kome don amfanin ikkilisiya.
23 ʻAia ko hono sino, ko e fonu ʻo ia ʻoku ne fakafonu kotoa pē ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē.
Kuma ikkilisiya ce jikinsa; ta kuma cika da Kiristi, wanda ya cika kome ta kowace hanya.
